I made it! Granted, I didn't get there until 11:30ish. But I got the books I brought with signed, along with Turncoat. I got home around 4. Five hours later and I'm up, making sure to spend time with my baby girl(my youngest, she's two). So, I'm wiped out, but it was so worth it! :)

I went last night as well. Am I wrong, or had Jim never mentioned the titles of the Capstone trilogy yet?
The titles are..."Hell's Bells", "Stars and Stones", and "Empty Night", as announced by Jim last night.
I had a great time as well. The guy dressed as Mac looked authentic. I got there around 10pm and work obligations today 'forced' me to simply stand in line for the signed copy without getting anything personalized. Jim will be back in the area for Duckon in June (or July) and I'll see him then.

I thought it was a fantastic event. (Course I was lucky enough to have a blue band and was able to get everything signed that I wanted with little wait) I"m not sure they were prepared for the turnout.
Still, Mr. Butcher was kind and very patient I thought...he was engaging with the crowd in the Q & A and even avoided the stupid questions with sincerity. ("Um, if you die, how are you going to end the series?" Come on, what is wrong with you. You want him to tell us the ending to the series now? Are you insane?)
Although I had only read the Dresden Books so far, the obvious joy in his writing and respect for the fans that he showed makes me want to pick up the Codex and start on those as well. Thanks, Mr. Butcher.

First time I have been able to go out and see Jim in person. It was well worth the 4-hour round trip, 3 hours of sleep, and a long day at work today. As many have said before, Jim was terrific, witty, sincere and willing to take as much time as needed for everyone in line. The crowd was friendly and everyone seemed to have a good time. Now I have all the Dresden and Alera books signed ;D ;D - couldn't be happier.

I was 'Mac' that night.
Thank you!
I decided to go with who I looked like based on the descriptions in the books, instead of who I want to be.
Has anyone put up pictures or video online yet?
